Cheesy Instant Pot Cauliflower

This cheesy Instant Pot cauliflower is a great low carb macaroni and cheese style side dish everyone in your family will love, and want you to make again.

If you’re looking for a great low carb Instant Pot recipe this cheesy Instant Pot cauliflower is a real winner! Served as a side dish at dinner time or a complete meal, I can never make enough of it! It’s now one of our favorite easy vegetable Instant Pot recipes on The Typical Mom blog.

We first made this Instant Pot cauliflower mash which is a fun and delicious side dish to try, we even used purple cauliflower so it came out as a brilliantly bright purple mashed cauliflower dish the kids loved.

I don’t have this issue in my house but if your kids aren’t super keen on eating vegetables on a regular basis I would encourage you to try fun new ways of making them, like colored cauliflower. It doesn’t taste any different really but with kids sometimes it is just in the way it looks and color makes things more fun!

Cheese is also a great way to get kids to eat more vegetables of course so I bet they are going to love our cheesy Instant Pot cauliflower recipe here.

When it comes to cooking vegetables in the Instant Pot it doesn’t take long at all, and you don’t want them to get mushy. I prefer to cook it a little less because when it sits, or if you add hot sauces like this one it tends to soften even more when it sits but it is just a preference really.

I left it at 2 minutes on the instructions because everyone else liked this macaroni and cheese cauliflower (as they like to call it) on the softer tenderest side of things.

If you are on a low carb diet this cheesy Instant Pot cauliflower dish is great, if not you’ll enjoy how creamy it is.

We are big vegetable lovers at this house so my kids ask for things like this and our easy Instant Pot artichokes all the time. Using my Instant Pot gives me the ability to serve vegetables I once had to watch over more often, thus allowing us to eat healthier. That’s just the bottom line, this new multi cooker pressure cooker just rocks!

Of course you could make this without an Instant Pot, just steaming your cauliflower in a basket on the stove as you’d normally do. Then gently boil the sauce in the recipe card below, remove from heat, add your cauliflower, gently stir together and serve.

Either way you’ve gotta’ make this!
